| iodide accumulation by aerobic bacteria isolated from subsurface sediments of a 129i-contaminated aquifer at the savannah river site, south carolina. | (129)i is of major concern because of its mobility in the environment, excessive inventory, toxicity (it accumulates in the thyroid), and long half-life (~16 million years). the aim of this study was to determine if bacteria from a (129)i-contaminated oxic aquifer at the f area of the u.s. department of energy's savannah river site, sc, could accumulate iodide at environmentally relevant concentrations (0.1 µm i(-)). iodide accumulation capability was found in 3 out of 136 aerobic bacterial stra ... | 2011 | 21278282 |
